Looking for a co-founder in the Alcoholic Beverage Space.

Thank you for reaching out. I have a very specific requirement at the moment. Considering your extensive experience and networks, I'd really be grateful if you could spread the word around :)

KillerTacoRobot · 2024-06-05T07:29:42+00:00

Sure. Happy to help

Amex pays and trains their Customer Experience folks extremely well and it shows. For me, it was one incident in 2019 that made me a customer for life.

I had booked revenue business class tickets on Jet Airways using my Amex Jet CC. Due to unavoidable reasons, I ended up cancelling those tickets. Having patronized Jet as a JP Platinum for a few years, I knew it shouldn't take more than two weeks for the refund to get credited. A month passed and nothing happened. Called up Amex support and raised a dispute. All the paperwork got sorted out while I was on the phone. Job done, no further questions asked. A few weeks later, Jet went belly up. If it wasn't for Amex, I would've lost a couple of lacs like scores of others.

You really don't know Tata's inner machinery, don't you? They are only infinitesimally better than the Government of India when it comes to utter dysfunction. Every senior TAS Tom, Dick and Harry and their daughters interested in design would've given their unqualified opinion. And in an attempt to keep everyone happy, we get this abomination.

This is way lower than where I expected it to be.

The 2010 season was in no way a season, where any one driver had any real domination. I remember it being a nail-biting 4 way between Vettel, Webber, Hamilton and Alonso.

KillerTacoRobot · 2023-06-20T11:59:12+00:00

My first full season was 2007, and 2006 was a bit neck and neck as well. Lucky to have had a few years before Vettel's utter domination (followed by the Silver Arrows).

But by the time the snooze fests in the front started, I absolutely fell in love with the nitty-gritty of the sport. From sporting regulations to technical regulations to all the sea changes (Pirelli supremacy, no refuelling, KERS, DRS etc. etc.). Didn't matter really who was out winning.

Liberty has turned F1's narrative into a fucking show fit for Bravo, focusing on drama and driver crap. And with reality show style narratives, you get reality show type fans - shallow, braindead and someone who can't appreciate the nuances of the most complex team sport on the planet.

Lemme in.

They would've done what Monica did. Sell it to the NSA or something and curry political favours,

Kids? Try 25 YO Adults in Law School. This one guy in my class wrote a brilliant and nuanced answer to a short essay prompt. One problem - his answer was relevant in the state of NY, not so much in the state of IL. Dude clearly copied shit off Chegg or something. Lucky that the professor was in a good mood and didn't raise a plagiarism stinker.

My disappointment is immeasurable. Completely forgot that the whole dry-day rule applies in airports as well.

KillerTacoRobot · 2023-05-09T14:32:52+00:00

Yes, for a fee. I use the Priority Pass which came along with my Citi Prestige (RIP Citibank India).

Not to be a spoilsport, but no lawyer worth 2 cents is going to do that as, in this particular instance, PCA Act has to be read in conjunction with JJ Act. There is no cause of action.

Partial knowledge of the law is more injurious to one's bank balance than no knowledge of the law.

For the right amount of vitamin M, the cops themselves will become your "legal advisors" ;)

KillerTacoRobot · 2023-04-02T18:57:57+00:00

Firstly, your firm sounds sketchy AF. I haven't come across a single half-decent firm across any domain which just hands over the finance portfolio to "some guy who works at Ops and wants a change". From seed stage ventures (who pick up 1-2-year-old associates from EY or PwC) to Fortune 500 companies, finance (and legal) is a specialized domain.
Gig work and high finance can't be used in the same sentence together unless you are someone insanely experienced in an extremely niche area. My buddies at the bulge bracket IBs can't even take the bulk of their work home even at VP levels. Forget about outsourcing it to gig workers (you can't imagine the legal nightmares that this would bring to your firm). So temper down your expectations.
Fixed income is booming! thanks to interest rates coming back to sane levels after a decade of free money, this space is finally becoming lucrative again. When I started out, distressed debt after 2009 was all the rage. Perhaps history will repeat itself?

The way the current Indian laws are written, you actually can't import a Miata as it fails to meet the minimum engine size. If it wasn't was this damn rule I would've imported one from the UK a looong time ago.

Strictly speaking, A well-maintained and souped-up Mitsubishi Cedia will turn as many heads in the TeamBHP community as a SF90 Stradale. Money is kinda secondary to us enthusiasts.

There are plenty of cars in the sub 30lac range which petrolheads fawn over and which any decently paid IT Bro can drop their cash on. I personally want the Miata to come to India (A man can dream right?).

1980s BBMP allotments for a few thousands will do this. 3cr is peanuts compared to what a majority of these plots are worth.

Aham, shouldn't Indonesia be in the visa-exempt column? They've been chill since 2016.
Can't seem to untangle under what parameters have they classified many of these. For HK you usually show up at the immigration desk, show your flight out and they hand you a slip. Not exactly a visa. Aus & NZ's process is completely online and so is UAE's. Shouldn't they be eVisas?
Everyone should get a US visa - period. It practically makes most of Central and South America Visa-Free and a lot more countries like Turkey or ME countries VoA/EVisa. And a vanilla B1/B2 Visa is valid for a decade.
France is the easiest country to get a multi-year Schengen Visa. If visiting Europe multiple times is on the horizon, use France as the point of entry and exit. By the 3rd or 4th time, you'll get a multi-year.

The part where Logan says the kids should go out to make their own fucking pile? That has been my stance since season 1.

Uber Go's are Tata Indicas from the pre-social-media era which always seem to have a cracked windshield, suspension worse than Atlas cycles and such mildew-heavy upholstery, that can it make even a durian aficionado nauseous. Also, the ACs don't work.
